Tradition, and a culture based around sharing.
The Unix culture of openness and freedom (specifically the freedom to
distribute your work to others) works best if you can say "Hey Betty,
can you take a look at my .bashrc? I can't get my foo() function to
work." Or "Hey friends, I've made some changes to my bar.c file that
you might want to look at." And then they can just read the files
directly from your home directory.
If you don't like this setting, change it.
Setting umask in your shell profile isn't that hard indeed. I've doing that
for years. However, that does not mean your DE will honour that setting. I
have tried to do so for KDE (more specifically Krusader), but I ended up
nowhere. I haven't found a setting that will be honoured KDE wide or even
just in Krusader alone.
The place to do this is the X session [1]; system-wide in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/... and for each user in ~/.xsessionrc.
You might have to set allow-user-session in the global config
/etc/X11/Xsession.options to make the second possible.

Did you actually try this? I did and it did not what I was expecting it
to do. But maybe I should try again, maybe things have improved in the
meanwhile.
